Purchased my 1st Game from Steam in the UK using Bitcoin.

Yes, it's cool! Quickly and without any problems. In addition, it can be used by minors who do not have cards. As well as attract more users in emerging markets like - India, China and Brazil

This is exciting news. Thanks for sharing.

IMO it's too late for Steam to start accepting bitcoin. G2A has already established a reputation for a trustable alternative Steam market that's cheaper than the real thing, and accepts a wider range of payment options.

In China, bitcoin is quite famous but in India, people are not even aware of bitcoins. You will find very few people who have heard of bitcoin and bitcoin users are even lesser in number. Internet has not reached many of the places in India. It would be very difficult to attract users in India.

It is a great sign that steam is accepting BTC for payment. I like how simple bitcoin is to use, especially with a ledger HW wallet, secure and quick to use.
I do sometimes buy steam games.

This thread would have been much better, if you added things like this :

~ I bought Hitman {The Title} with Bitcoin on Steam {with a photo as proof}
~ Then you could add some interesting comparisons eg. I would have paid say $10 fees with my CC, but I paid only $0.01 as miners fee.
~ The payment took eg. 5 minutes to complete
~ I used BitPay / Coinbase or whatever other service they accept. {I think at this stage, it is only Bitpay?}

That would have been a much better thread to start off with.  Can you please give us a more detailed explanation of your experience? Thanks OP for sharing, now we know it's working.

No i cant be arsed, to busy playing my new game..... but feel free to give us all a run down on every aspect of your use of bitcoin, but dont expect me to read it, i can guess it will already bore me...... lol

I never used it but I already heard that its easy to do it with steam right now, the only downside is some games are too expensive and are here on the forum cheaper.
Due to this fact I still not used them, although its good for the publicity of the bitcoin.

Yes as mentioned in my previous post, there is online stores like Key4Co.in and G2A which accept Bitcoin and offer cheaper Steam games. However, we Bitcoiners should still use Bitcoin to purchase something on Steam from time to time (even if it is a 99 cents game). This will show Steam that there is still Bitcoin transactions going on. And hence they will not disable Bitcoin transaction feature. I am going to purchase some cheap indie game on Steam with Bitcoin sometime next week or the week after to show my support - even though the game might be cheaper on G2A.

Agreed    If we want people to use and accept bitcoin we bitcoiners need to spend it at them stores to show support.

Awesome stuff from the OP & Steam. I hope mlre people buy games there using bitcoin. We need more & more companies accepting bitcoin to prevail.

[DeathAngel]

What's the price conversion like on Steam? Do they charge you more for the supposed privelidge of paying in bitcoin?

[znickelbackz]

if i ever have time again to play games, maybe i would try to buy some on steam. i'm too busy that i don't dare going there now, so easy to purchase a game that i'm afraid i can't refuse to buy something i don't have time to play.
